A Fast cooking slow cooker,
By Alex "Alex" (Uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crockpot SCV1600BS Saute Slow Cooker 5.7L (Kitchen & Home)
I agree with comments from the earlier reviewer. It is only good for slow cooking meat. Vegetables get far far too overcooked. It is also very big, too big for a microwave, it takes up a whole cupboard, and not sure how economical it is.

NOT a slow cooker,
This review is from: Crockpot SCV1600BS Saute Slow Cooker 5.7L (Kitchen & Home)
I left my beautiful Tower Slo-Cooker behind when we went on holiday. Oh how I have wept since. This cooker did not do the same wonderful job - at all. Yes, this is a cooker, but it isn't a slow cooker. A slow cooker is a pot that you fill at the start of the day, and then can come back to in the evening and remove tender, delicious food. This cooker doesn't do that. It works at too high a temperature. If you put it on at the start of the day, you will come back to ruined food burned to a dry skin round the sides of the pot. Absolutely hopeless. On the other hand, if you are aware that it is a ridiculously fast cooker, and are prepared to treat it more like an electric pan, rather than a slow cooker, it is a fairly good cooker. You will get a decent meal out of it in less than three hours. But this is no good to the person wanting an all-day cooker. Its only positive point, as far as I am concerned, is that you can use the pot straight on your hob, too, to get the veg and meat browned, and get it all started. Utterly disappointing machine, especially considering the brand and the price. Alternative? The Russell Hobbs is a slightly inconvenient dual pot (so you couldn't get a whole piece of meat or chicken in), but it is a proper slow cooker and gives excellent results. Have tried almost all the other brands and found them too hot, too. If you read all the reviews you will see it is a common problem with modern slow cookers. What has happened to slow cooking? Come back Tower. We need you!

Crockpot,

This review is from: Crockpot SCV1600BS Saute Slow Cooker 5.7L (Kitchen & Home)
I bought this crockpot from Amazon a couple of weeks ago.I had already researched very carefully and read some negative reviews re this model cooking too quickly and burning food etc. However, I particularly wanted a slow cooker that I could use on the hob too as I did not want to have to wash up an extra pan. This was the only slow cooker that fitted the bill, so I decided to take a chance, despite the negative reviews. Well, I must say that I am absolutely thrilled with it. I have used it nearly every day for the past week and had no problems with it cooking too quickly or burning whatsoever. It is great to be able to prepare the meals in the crockpot on the hob first (mine is electric), which means I do not have any extra washing up which is always tiresome. I have left meals cooking on slow for 7 hours with no problem and cooked on the high setting too. I have cooked meat dishes, chicken dishes, curries and soups so far. They have been great and I have plans to cook so much more.I can prepare it in the morning and don't have to worry about cooking early evening, when I least feel like cooking. I have even put it on before going out to play 18 holes of golf and my husband and I came home to a meal all prepared ready to eat. Perfect! I am able to cook large enough quantities to eat one meal now and freeze another for later (there are two of us).It is exactly what I wanted and I am so glad I did not take any notice of the negative reviews! OK I think I have raved enough about this baby now.
